This belongs in the gregtech thread as gregtech is the addon that adds the expensive recipe.
But I will help you anyway The reason that the expensive one shows in NEI is that your client config is still set to expensive on. If you try to craft it using the old recipe, the crafting table will not display the macerator but click on the "empty" crafting table output slot and you will get one. If you want to fix NEI and make it show the correct recipe, then go to the config on your client and change it the same way you changed it on your server.
